German Party

The German Party (DP) was a national conservative political party in Germany that was founded in 1946 by Heinrich Hellwege. The party reached the height of its power following World War II from the late 1940s to the 1950s, and it dissolved at the federal level in 1961, existing on the state level until 1980. In 1993, the party was re-founded as a right-wing populist party, and it was monitored by the intelligence service for its possible links to neo-Nazism.
